Crossbush-South Stoke Profile

This was the profile of the walk. It is certainly a route that the Gorse Fox will use again as it was good exercise, without being too strenuous. There were a few climbs but nothing that was uncomfortable.

Total distance was 8 miles.
Total ascent was 675 feet.
Highest point was (only) 217 feet.
Lowest point was 0 feet.

Highly recommended.

Dairy of a Gentleman

On the final stretch of the walk, just before turning back to Crossbush, the old Dairy reclined by the side of the road enjoying the warmth of the winter sun.

Trees

Through Burpham and on towards Wepham. The Gorse Fox truned and headed up over the Down by The Conyers, across the valley and up the other side.

He was soon on metalled road again, and heading towards Warningcamp. The low sun made it difficult to make the most of the view, but at one point it sat balanced in the branches of gnarled old tree.
